In conjunction with this I will be drawing upon the skills audit I conducted to help me create an action plan that addresses my individual needs and help develop a broader skill set. This would therefore make me more confident in communicating effectively in different situations. The course aims and objectives will be used with questionnaires, quizzes and other formats that were used to evaluate myself and preferential styles to show my strengths and weaknesses in this essay. In the introductory week we undertook a skills audits that helped us identify what our individuals learning styles where. I quickly learnt that I had similar results from both the audits and questionnaires which hinted that I am more reserved and observant. I was also told that I am very insightful and can express my own opinions well. The skills audit showed that I am more of a reflector/theorist (Online Skills Audit). Strengths and weaknesses: Main body I believe that all of my strengths are rather similar and therefore helps me conform very strong arguments which boast depth, analytical flare, and descriptive analysis.

Mainly, to survive in this evolving world, generally, everything is based on Capital. In order to live a productive lifestyle, it requires education, wellness, finances, and persistence. In order to be successful driven, collaboration of a system should consist of planning, organizing, and generate an action. In health care, marketing is “the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and service to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives”. (University Of Phoenix, 2011, para. The Meaning of Marketing). It also mentions, these “basics are to use a quality system where metrics are defined and where physicians follow agreed-upon clinical protocols, and are aligned with the organizations that manage the defined patient population.” This strategic marketing process consists of relationships. The “important stakeholders, environmental factors, and society at large”. (University of Phoenix, 2011, para. The Strategic Marketing). To maintain its core value the approach must follow an external-to-internal method, according to the chapters.

Cover letters as referred to in the U.S have multiple names internationally like letters of interest and motivation letters. Regardless of the name the process is still the same however typically self-photos of the applying individual are attached to a cover letter, resume or both whereas in the U.S, photos are not appropriate attachments when looking for employment. It is also important to remember that paper sizes differ in other countries so altering your document size will be necessary if you want all your information to come through, otherwise your resume, fax, email etc. may have some missing...

Before the selection interview took place I had to prepare a few documents. I also had to complete an application form for this role play as I was the interviewee. My pre-interview contribution to the preparations was really effective as I completed the application form as soon as it was given to me. Also I made a Curriculum Vita along with a covering letter to go with it for the job position I was applying for. Before the interview I had to have some knowledge on reed, by this I read up some back ground information on the company. Finally I prepared for questions which will be asked from the panel and which I will ask them.

...Overview Founded in 1963 by Stanley Goldstein, Sid Goldstein, and Mark Steven in Lowell, Massachusetts, Consumer Value Store (CVS), has quickly grown to be the second largest pharmacy and convenience store with over 7,600 pharmacies and drugstores nationwide. Since the beginning, CVS has always strived to be the largest retail pharmacy-which led to the development of their growth strategy. Furthermore, CVS continually strives to “reinvent” the pharmacy and make healthy living a fundamental part of their customers’ lives. (Biesada, 2014) Initially, these strategies were influenced by the company’s mission statement and purpose. According to the CVS website, the company’s mission is to “provide expert care and innovative solutions in pharmacy and health care that are effective and easy for our customers” (CVS caremark corporation: History, 2014). Clearly, CVS is in business to provide expert care, although it would appear that not all of their individual pharmacists share the same feelings. Based on research conducted, it would appear that there is a general lack of customer service training as some pharmacists have allegedly been behaving rudely towards customers. Throughout the course of this initiative, we will be discussing the gaps that have been found and we will develop a training program that we hope will help alleviate these problems and allow CVS to fully realize their mission. Part II: Needs Assessment Pharmacy Prescription Practices As a result of organizational...
